“…One-fifth of the studies used willingness to pay (WTP) measurement methods and applied, for example, conjoint analysis (e.g., Bernard et al, 2018;Fell et al, 2006;Luo et al, 2017;Thompson et al, 2010) and discrete choice experiment (Holopainen et al, 2017;Shoji et al, 2014). Qualitative studies with, for example, focus group discussions (e.g., Häyrinen et al, 2020;Xu et al, 2019) and interviews (e.g., Viholainen et al, 2020) were not popular, even though some of the reviewed studies recognized the need for qualitative methods as well (Roos & Nyrud, 2008a;Toivonen, 2012). However, only four of the studies (Jonsson et al, 2008;Jonsson, 2005;Ridoutt et al, 2002;Xu et al, 2019) used the mixed methods approach with qualitative and quantitative methods.…”

“…Other regions in which research was carried out actively were the United States (e.g., Cai & Aguilar, 2013, 2014, Canada (e.g., Bernard et al, 2018;Paulin et al, 2018), andChina (e.g., Tan et al, 2019;Xu et al, 2019).

“…Also, the research was conducted mainly in Europe, North America, and Asia. Most of the studies were conducted in developed countries; however, some developing countries, such as China (e.g., Luo et al, 2018;Tan et al, 2019;Xu et al, 2019) andBrazil (e.g., De Morais &Pereira, 2015) were also represented. In developing countries, the forest industry is a major source of growth and employment (e.g., OECD, 2009), and thus there are significant research opportunities in the area of wood consumption for future studies.…”

“…Therefore, researchers should investigate and observe the actual behavior of consumers instead of their stated intentions or preferences. Third, only a couple of the reviewed studies were longitudinal (e.g., Fell et al, 2006;Ozanne & Vlosky, 2003), and thus conducting longitudinal studies is seen as essential in future research (e.g., Häyrinen et al, 2020;Nyrud & Bringslimark, 2010;Xu et al, 2019).…”

Nowadays, consumers are expected to engage in sustainable consumption and contribute to sustainable development (e.g., Caruana & Crane, 2008). Sustainability has been characterized by corporate responsibility discourses such as "triple bottom line" (TBL) (i.e., profit, people, and planet) that focus on delivering value on the economic, social, and environmental dimensions (Elkington, 2004).

The exhausting fast pace of life in modern urban society is leading to overwhelming stress and diminished cognitive alertness. Moreover, people are spending more and more time indoors due to building densification and urban lifestyle. Therefore, indoor environments that can promote positive psychological perception will become more important. Use of wood in indoor settings and its health benefits are currently receiving increased attention from design and research communities. In this work, a comparative study was conducted on the different degrees of wood use in indoor spaces.The results show that the effect of the physical attributes of degree of wood use, wood coverage and change of wood surface (different type and application position of wood) on the visual psychological responses (visual attention and psychological impression) of wooden indoor spaces were significant. The wooden indoor spaces with medium degree of wood use were easier to get more visual attention and were more helpful to give people the psychological impression of naturalness, warmth, relaxation, and desire to use.In addition, the results also show that when considering the influence of change of wood surface, people tended to pay more attention to indoor spaces with relatively high wood coverage and preferred the experiences in such spaces. The change of wood surface was an all-important aspect that needs to be considered on top of wood coverage. These results provided guidance for the design of healthy indoor environments.

Review of the use of solid wood as an external cladding material in the built environment

Timber cladding has been used since historical times as a locally available, affordable weather protection option. Nowadays, interest in timber cladding is again increasing because of ecological reasons as well as naturalistic viewpoints. This review presents a comprehensive report on timber cladding in a European context, beginning with a brief overview of the history before considering contemporary use of timber cladding for building envelopes. The basic principles of good design are considered, paying attention to timber orientation, fixings and environmental risk factors. The relationship of timber with moisture is discussed with respect to sorption behaviour, dimensional instability and design methods to minimise the negative consequences associated with wetting. The behaviour of timber cladding in fires, the effects of environmental stresses and weathering, as well as the cladding properties and the variation thereof with different types of wood and anatomical factors (including exposure of different timber faces), are examined. The review then moves on to considering different methods for protecting timber, such as the use of coatings, preservatives, fire retardants and wood modification. A brief discussion of various environmental considerations is also included, including life cycle assessment, embodied carbon and sequestered atmospheric carbon. The review finishes by making concluding remarks, providing a basis for the selection of appropriate cladding types for different environments.
